If Porter Jr. s previous games are a little normal, the Nuggets may have advanced to the Western Conference Finals?

In the previous NBA playoff Western Conference semi-finals G6, the Denver Nuggets, who played at home, defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 119-107. After this game, the Nuggets also stubbornly tied the total score of this round of series to 3-3. Next, both sides need to compete for another spot in the Western Conference Finals through a brutal tiebreak battle.

In this game, Michael Porter Jr., the Nuggets starting lineman who has performed disaster-likely in the previous few games, at least did not drag the team down. Porter Jr. played 28 minutes and 58 seconds in the game, made 4 of 9 shots, and 2 of 5 shots from outside the three-point line, and scored 10 points, 4 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block. There was also 1 turnover and 1 foul, with a plus-minus value of +5. At least in this game, Porter Jr. did not drag down the team on the offensive end, and he got some points with his stable efficiency. Porter Jr. also performed well on the defensive end, and he also did not cause too much trouble to the team on the defensive end. Overall, Porter Jr. has played his value on both offense and defense, and has also made his own contribution to the team's victory in this game. Of course, Porter Jr. was abandoned by the team in the last quarter of the game, and the facts also prove that the Nuggets bench players are not that bad, and the team can also find the candidate to replace Porter Jr.

In the NBA regular season this season, Porter Jr. made a total of 77 appearances in 82 games, averaging 33.7 minutes per game, averaging 18.2 points, 7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 50.4%, three-point shooting percentage was 39.5%, and free throw shooting percentage was 76.8%. So far in the playoffs, Porter Jr. has averaged 31.7 minutes in the first 13 games, with averaging 9.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.5 blocks, and has one turnover and 1.8 fouls. His shooting percentage is 39.3%, three-point shooting percentage is 36.4%, and free throw shooting percentage is 71.4%.

Potter Jr.'s performance during the playoffs was absolutely terrible. His offensive efficiency and three-point shooting percentage both declined significantly compared with the regular season stage, and his various data were far inferior to those in the regular season stage. Porter Jr. is also a player that everyone has high expectations, but he has seriously dragged the team down in many games. It is no exaggeration to say that if Porter Jr. performs slightly better in some games, the Nuggets may have advanced to the next round. It would certainly be a good thing for the Nuggets to maintain this level in the G7, but if he can't do that, the Nuggets can also consider giving other players more opportunities instead of hanging themselves in a tree in Porter Jr.
